Poll

The Westwood Neighborhood Council decided to increase its council members’ terms from two years to four years. This move raises questions of the feasibility of students being able to take part in the council, as the four year commitment could require students to stay back in Westwood after graduating. What do you think about this issue?
The council should return back to its two year terms as four year terms limit student participation and thus representation on the neighborhood council.
The council’s decision to extend terms is wise as it reduces election costs and allows for more funds to be channeled into the neighborhood.
The term limit change will not have any notable effect on student’s ability to participate on the council.
I have feelings about this issue that are not represented in the options above.
